The answer is that it depends on what you are describing. When describing nouns, we use -ed, or the simple past tense of the verb. Some examples would be, half-hearted attempt, never-kissed princess, never-known secrets, twice-risen dough, or oft-spoken verse.
This shows that you should use "medium-sized," rather than "medium-size." You want to describe the quality of the whole n

Typically you would use medium size in this manner: "He was of medium size."
You would use medium sized in this manner: "I want a medium-sized Coke."
